Libraries like MPFR solve problems, just not the one mentioned in this
thread. There are tradeoffs to both approaches if you need a cross
compiler. It's common in HPC, for instance, to compile and run code on
different architectures. Even with the same base architecture (x86) there
could be subtle differences between say, Haswell and Skylake host
libraries. I'm not sure I agree that it's "often worse", though. I've found
it to be quite the opposite.
